[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 934848, member: 96273"] I bet you have your brightness turned all the way up and like 6 apps open at once, expecting 7 hours of battery life :D. That's usually the case. Mine is advertised as up to 4.5 hours. If I turn down my brightness to one bar and just have safari open surfing and reading the news in bed, I can get 6 and a half hours. If I'm playing World of Warcraft with iTunes going and Mail and Adium open, I can probably get an hour and fifteen minutes. [/QUOTE]
